Guard #1 is in his 20’s, and is physically very fit, able to handle himself in any fight.
Guard #2 is in his 30’s. They’re looking for an actor that’s tall, and athletic with a military feel. The character is a professional clear-thinking guard who is dependable. The part has two days shooting on November 1st and 2nd but it’s in Spain. Interested in travelling abroad? Bueno!
If you’re cast in these roles, just try and be better than the two guards that tried to keep Arya out of Winterfell.
God, they were crap!
